My favourite magazine this week is the latest from Jamie Oliver. The Brits and my Liverpud love a good curry so I snapped this up as soon as I saw it on the stands. He's done it again - this issue is just packed with wonderful recipes (not all of them curry related). I particularly liked the article "Tradition With a Twist" which blends Indian cooking with traditional British recipes such as Fish & Chips, pasties and Yorkshire Pud. There are also very useful recipes for making five different curry pastes from a Korma to a Vindaloo.
The only curries I've ever done have either involved a sauce from a jar or using pre-made curry mixes, but this magazine totally inspired me to try one from scratch. I chose the Chicken Tikka Masala and just mixing up all the aromatic paste ingredients was so much fun.
And hooray, I did it! And it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought. I added some spinach and served it over brown basmati with some (store bought) naan on the side and a good bunch of coriander on top. Spicy and yummy. I'll be trying some lentil curries next.
